D3: Greece: Background: Greek Wines with Konstantinos Lazarakis MW Part 2
Konstantinos tells us about the 4 key regions in Greece.
The first is Naousa red wine appellation in the north in the general area of Macedonia. Tha main grape variety is Xinomavro [Ksee no' ma vro] grape (style close to Nebbiolo). Nemea in Pelopennese again red wine Agiorghitiko [ Ah yor yee' ti ko ] meaning St George's. Its very different in style producing soft and fruity wines.
The white varieties famous and most important appellation is the island of Santorini (big tourist destination). Assyrtiko [A seer' tee ko] very mineral not too aromatic. The second key white appellation is Mantinia, located in the Peloponnese, with the main variety being Moschofilero [Mos ko fee' le ro], very fresh, aromatic, rose petals and is linked to the Muscat family of grapes.
I thought the questions were excellent, an extremely valuable revision tool. They really helped highlight areas I thought I had revised and understood but clearly had not, which has enabled me to focus on key areas to revisit and study before going into the exam... I think it is a great resource and an essential revision aid for any WSET 3 students wishing to gain a competitive edge and successfully pass the WSET 3 exam.
